Shards of reflected light all around, the glow of raw gold, freshly-cut gemstones, tweezers rusty but still strong. Slowness, silence. A diamond is set, emotions are contained. The smell of worked metal; skilled hands shape the rubber to create the moulds, a glimmer of colours: ruby red, antique rose, chestnut and pearl grey, bright yellow, emerald green: the sky is blue.
